Split a JSON file into separate files

Question

I have a large JSON file that is an object of objects, which I would like to split into separate files name after object keys. Is it possible to achieve this using jq or any

Answer 1

Is it possible to achieve this using jq or any other off-the-shelf tools?

It is. Xidel can also do what you want:

for f in $(xidel -s input.json -e '$json()'); do
  xidel -s input.json -e '$json("'$f'")' > $f.json
done
